Two Little Pigs.

From Harper'S Young People.
One bright summer morning as was strOll1ng
toward the beach On the Island of Makinac, saw
a short distance ahead Of me two little pigs, one
perfectly white and the other perfectly black,
both the same size, trudg1ng along side by side in
the same direction as myself, seemingly engaged
In earnest conversation.
They seemed so out OF place, and was 80
curious TO know whittier they were bound that /
followed them unObserved. They did not walk
aimleSsly, but as IL they had some special object
in view, and some definite destination.
Wondered what they would do when they
reached the water. / was not long In being
answered. without moments hesitation they
plunged into the waves side by side, and swan
out and away toward another island miles dis
tant. i stood and watched them until their two
little heads looked like balls bobbing up and down.
side by side, all the time.
When related the incident to the landlord a
little later, he looked astOnished and annoyed
''ThoSe pigs, he said, "were to have been served
up for dinner to-day. They were brought here
this morning in a boat from that island, and we
thought We might allow them their freedom for
the short time they had to live, never thinking OF
their making an attempt to return home"
'And did you notice, +" he continued, ..they chose
the point OF land nearest the island where they
came from to enter the water? Singular that the
little animals should have been SO bright! And
furthermore, they weren't landed there: that
makes IL more strange"
81, too, left the island that day, and / have
never heard whether those brave little pigs ever
reached their destination or not"

Rose Kingsley. in Wide Awake.
Let Inc tell you how we were taught to help
those who helped US in our dear old home at
Eversley rectory. OF course, in a busy house
where every one has work TO do, the servant can
not be helped much on week days except by
thoughtfulneSs In little things. But there is the
seventh day. when the children have no lessons to
DO. This was what We were taught to look upon
as the .'helpers'" day OF rest, far as We could
make il so.
In the morning breakfast was earlier than usual
While We were breakfaSting the maid was empty
Ing our baths, for they were too heavy for chill
0ren- AS soon as breakfast was over we Lrotted
on 10 our rooms, made the beds, folded up and put
away all our clothes, busted, and In fact put
things straight all around. Then we ran down to
the d1ning-room and laid the table for dinner, and
THESE means the maids were all ready in their nice
sunday dresses to go to church with US all at IL.
Dinner on Sunday, no matter who was with us
was at O'Clock instead OF z. This was the only
not meal In the day. No cooking was done after
O'Clock, as our supper was cold. At both dinner
ana supper the servants were sent away and We
waited at table. laugh now when think Of the
faces OF horror OF learned men or gallant soldiers
VINO mad come down to spend Sunday In the dear
Old rectOry, or ridden over from Sandhurst or
AIoerShot 10 the morning service. The agonieS
Iney went through at being waited on by the
uaugnterS OF the house. The struggles they made
70 De allowed TO change their own plates! And
tnelr resigned submission when quietly told by
thelr most, ut Is the way OF the housed" That was
now we were made to help the faithful and de-
voted servants who spent their lives in helping us.

SnObbery I'm Philadelphia.

From the Daily News,
Only last week saw large sign in the window
OF mans furnishing goods shop on Chestnut
street below Broad. 1t was suspended over dis
play of gloves, and read: Snow worn by the
Prince OF Wales" Such an announcement should
outrage the sensibilities of any self-respecting
man, and should make him taboo the establish
ment: Yet this firm knows what they are doing
and how to lure the 1mbecile society mimic.
For the same purpose they call themselves
"ha6erdashers." That sounds English, you
know, and the 1mbecile will never guess
that haberdasher is really dealer in
small wares, such as "r1bbOns, tape, pins
needles, thread twist buttons, trimmings, etc. !"
On Chestnut street, also, 1 have noticed recently
during the shopping hours that number OF the
nver1ed coachmen and fOOtmen atop handsomely
appointed carriages wear cOckades at one side OF
their hats. wonder If their employers know how
ridiculous and laughable this Isl Do you know
what It indicates In London, whence the custom
has been stolen without a knowledge OF It's mean
ing? II signifies that the livery is that OF the mil
1tary nobility; that the master OF the one wearing
the cOckade is a nObleman holding position In
either the army or navy. Its use in this country
means simply the 1mbecflity OF those who employ

A Cosmopolitan City.

From the San Francisco ArgonaQt.
An elderly single woman of Boston, with good
deal OF money and no especial avocation, recently
declared that she was in future going spend hel
winters In washington. ''You see, she explained,
"not being young girl, or married woman, or a
social leader, there is logically no social place fol-
me In Boston. washington Is the only American
city cosmopolitan enough, old world enough, to
afford social place to women Of my age without a
mission. 1t is really, you know, the only American
city where boys and girls are not supposed to be
the only persons to carry on society. Yes I'm
going to Washington" This strikes me as only
another phase OF the complaint Prot Boyesen
makes in one of the current magazines, that all
our fiction is written for young girls, and, there
fore. has no backbone.

The New York Star says: w. A Clarke, the post
Office clerk In the registry department, who was
arrested for stealing $4,000 contained in pack
age addressed TO the First National Bank Of Port
land, oregon, and who was released on $500 bail
Saturday last, has gone the way of bad cashiers
The impression Is that he has gone to Canada. AT
No. 30 DeKalb avenue, Brooklyn, where the miss
Ing clerk and his wife boarded IL was said that he
had not been seen since Saturday. On that day
much of Clarke's personal property was removed
There are now over sixty charges against the de-
faulCer and the marshal who was hunting for him
had cord OF warrants for his arrest. On last Sat
urday Clarke was admitted TO bail, becoming his
own OondSman- He did this by depoSi1ng in the
ONCE OF the clerk OF the United States Circuit
Court a certified draft for s., 500, drawn by the
American Guarantee Loan and Trust Company on
the Park National Bank, payable to Clerk Gr1mth,
and Endorsed by j. NJ Manv1lle, ne1ghbor OF
Clarke. The draft is not returnabe till May, and
IL Is doubtful II the bail will be forfeited till then.
Clarke was appointed to his position eleven years
ago by Postmaster James, on the recommendation
on superintendent Baker, his brother-in-law.

PRIVILEGES.
case was decided In the Superior Court OF New
York Tuesday, involving the construction OF con-
tracts known in the vernacular of Wall street as
privileges" The suit was originally Instituted
by Imslee A. Hopper against Mr. Russell Sage. In
the complaint 1t is set forth that on May %, 1873
Mr.. Hopper purchased "put," which the de-
fendant signed, and by which he agreed to take
from the purchaser, any time within 80 DAYS 500
shares or Chicago and Northwestern common
stock at 40 In the agreement regarding the
tput" IL Is stated 'the undersigned is entitled tn
all the dividends or extra dividends declared dur
ing the time"
when Mr.. Hopper called on Mr. Sage on June %
and stated that he wanted $24 sol for the stock in
val between May % and June - a 3 per cent dty1-
dend had been paid, Mr. Hopper was entitled to
payment only at the rate OF $40 share. Mr.. Hop
per refused 10 receive payment On such terms as
he claimed the dividend paid since the Contract
was entered into had been declared before IL was
made and signed. He accordingly brought suit
against the veteran nnancer TO recover ST. 500 tine
amount OF the difference between the price OF the
stock at 46 and at 40.
The first judgments obtained were in Mr.. Sape,s
favor, but in the superior Court Tuesday Judge
DCgro directed the jury to find for the plaintiff
which was done accordingly, the full amount, wit h
interest, being granted in the sum OF SS3i4 %
After the return of the verdict Mr.. Sage's counsel
obtained stay OF judgment pending appeal,
